My Mom gave me a Crofton Stainless Steel Toaster oven with Rotisserie. We had a single level toaster oven and felt we needed something bigger with having to use both our oven and toaster oven when we wanted to do more chicken nuggets or what have you. This new toaster oven has 2 racks, one wire and one bake tray. It also has a removeable crumb tray for easy cleaning. This toaster oven bakes, br...

I had always wanted a Kodak Easyshare ever since I had seen it on Oprah's Favorite Things. When the price finally went down I got one for Christmas. Picture quality is great. The ease of being able to print your own pictures is by far easier than having to have them done at the store. Memory cards are not that expensive so you can keep quite a few pictures on the camera and when you are rea...

I bought a Maytag thinking it would be one that lasted me for a long time. Less than 2 years of having it we already had to have over $400 worth of work put into it. First it leaked-that wasn't covered under the warranty. Then it didn't spin, not covered under the warranty. Furthermore the place that we bought it from wouldn't help us -we had to go directly to Maytag itself. Now hal...

I have compared many cellphones, but I have to say from what I have tried or looked at my Motorola Razr is the best I have found. I ordered it when I signed up for Cingular (now the new AT&T). It was free with my 2 year plan-worth over $200 at the time. I picked the Burgundy one-feeling it would look cleaner longer. My battery life usually is good for almost 3 days, the display is clear and...

When I decided to go from a prepaid cellphone to a plan I went with Cingular at the time. (the New AT&T). I couldn't be happier with this plan. My husband and I got 2 phones for free-nice ones I might add). We have the plan of 700 family shared minutes. We pay 9.99 each for 500 text messages, pictures, media bundle is what they call it. We have roll over minutes-and since we don...

We have had a few different printers, but I have to say the HP we currently have on our main computer is by far a great one for the price we paid. It is an ALL-IN-ONE Printer, Scanner, and Copier. Print speed is average for an at home business or personal use. The scanner is a nice feature to have but one we do not use every day. The copier is a great feature-especially since we don't have ...

Although we have 1 printer I needed one for my upstairs computer for my at home business. I didn't want to spend a lot but wanted one that scanned, copied and ofcourse printed. After looking around I found just what I was looking for at Walmart. This printer does all 3 things that I was looking for. The cartridges run 15.00 for black and 17 for color, I have never priced the photo one. I go...

For Christmas my daughter asked for Life Twists & Turns. I didn't really understand the concept of the game-as we already had the original Life game. The other night we decided to have a family game night-I was afraid that since we had never played it before it would take forever to get started. But surprisingly the game was very well explained in the directions. It is for up to 4 playe...

Looking for a great place to do your taxes yourself? Look up www.turbotax.com. I have been using this company for the past 7 years and will continue to do so. I love the feature than brings your information from last year to the next year. If you use Quicken you can import your information from Quicken to your tax return. Navigation is very easy as on the top there are tabs to allow you to go f...

Do you have an account that offers you to have online banking? I have used online banking for almost a year now. I couldn't imagine ever going back to not having the control of looking at my accounts before my statement comes. Our bank offers "real-time" banking-meaning if my husband goes down and makes a deposit-I can go on the computer and see it posted as soon as he drives away...

Have you ever tried to measure something and can't figure out the little ticks between the bigger numbers? Now I am not trying to sound dumb-but to the person that doesn't exactly understand measurements, this is the measuring tape for you. This Olympia 25' measuring tape is the easiest tape measure to use. It goes all the way down to 1/8 measurements and lists them on the tape. It ...

Now we all know that sometimes the free things in life aren't the best. Well when I signed up for a 2nd line in my home-Roadrunner/Timewarner said if I installed it myself I would get 2 free phones-one that has a base and one that plugs in /in a different location. This was exactly what I needed as my office space is in our upstairs-but my base had to be downstairs. I wouldn't say ...

Are you looking for a scale in your kitchen or business to weigh items up to 5 pounds? These scales are perfect. They weigh in pounds and ounces/grams. We have used these scales to weigh meat when we were watching our weight and to weigh venison to package to freeze. We have weighed my dried fruit so I could package it in bags of 1#. We also used our one scale to weigh our puppies when the...

Have you ever wanted to make your own bread but found the conventional "doing it by hand" long and tedious? Well the Sunbeam Bread Maker is just what you need. Cleaning is simple and doesn't take that long. I can make a variety of yeast breads and pizza dough. Once I put the ingredients in by following the simple directions which are included I just leave it and can...

This keyboard is a great keyboard for the person that is on the computer alot. It has a large area to rest your hands-and can be tilted to a degree that is comfortable. There are many options on it such as a calculator button-that when pressed your computer calculator comes right up. The keys are nicely sized and spaced. The nice thing is the letters do not wear off easily-as I have had this ke...

Fructisse by Garnier is by far one of the best shampoos you can buy without a lot of expense. I have used this shampoo for a few years now-and although the price has went up a little-I hate using anything else. I like the fact that they use fruit concentrate. It smells great and leaves your hair feeling clean and shiny-but not greasy. I tried another lower cost shampoo not too long ago-and it m...

The Choice by  Nicholas Sparks. I got this book a few months ago and hadn't had a chance to read it. Once I picked it up I had a hard time putting it down. As with any Nicholas Sparks books the author has a way of grabbing you and making you feel that you are part of the story. When I put the book down I caught myself wondering what the characters were up to. During this book there wer...

The Bigs. My son who was 12 at the time purchased this game with his own money. It was a game that ever since it came out-he "just had to have". After purchasing it he tried playing it by himself-and the more that he tried the more frustrated he became. I saw him play it with my nephew-and together they seemed to do ok. But after purchasing it he said he wished that he had never bough...

This past year we decided it was time to purchase a "better computer". We had upgraded our old ones-and still the speed was slow. I took time comparing prices and found that I could build my own Dell on line. I upgraded the speakers (which are great and clip on the bottom of the widescreen monitor). I upgraded the screen to a 17'widescreen/flatscreen. This has excellent color and ...

I never realized just how handy a USB Flash Drive was until I saw one at Walmart. Having 3 computers in the house I was trying to figure out how to transfer all of my kids/husband's music from our upstairs computer to our new one downstairs. Looking back I could have used a bigger capacity one-as this one is 512M, but it is amazing just how much information it holds at one time. I was able ...
